Why buy Stunt Scooter Bars & Handlebars?
They provide a straightforward, responsive feel. The horizontal bar gives equal leverage on both sides, making bar spins predictable. Street riders appreciate the stability during grinds and manuals.
Which materials are available?
Steel T‑bars offer durability and are common in street scootering. Aluminium T‑bars are lighter for park riding but less durable for heavy street tricks. Titanium T‑bars provide both strength and low weight at a premium cost.
What sizes do T‑bars come in?
Widths range from 20 to 30 inches and heights from 22 to 28 inches. The right size depends on your height and riding style. Bars should reach roughly waist to hip height when standing on your deck.
Do T‑bars work with all compression systems?
Bars with a slit fit HIC or IHC compression systems, while slitless bars are designed for SCS. Use shims to adapt oversized bars to standard clamps if necessary.
Can I customise bar width and height?
Yes. Bars can be cut down with a pipe cutter or hacksaw. Always remove sharp edges and reinstall bar ends after cutting.
What are gussets and why are they on some bars?
Gussets are triangular reinforcements at the weld joint of the crossbar and vertical tube. They increase strength, especially on taller or wider bars, preventing bends at the weld.
Are T‑bars suitable for park riding?
Yes. Many park riders use T‑bars for predictable bar spins and solid feel on transitions. If you prioritise weight saving, aluminium or titanium T‑bars may be preferable.
How do I install T‑bars?
Slide the bar into the clamp, align it with the front wheel and tighten the clamp bolts evenly. If using HIC or IHC, ensure the slit is positioned correctly.
